BONNO VAN DOORN
 

ABOUT

Graduated from the ‘Rietveld Academy’ with a life - size F16 made of cardboard; a tribute to the hobbyist. His installations can be described as a collection of beautiful ugliness, existing statues transformed into monsters, everyday items that are scattered through space, sloppy graffiti adorns the walls, taped mannequins and more craziness: you just don’t know where to look. Bonno's work is playful and mocking, he has gay pink shirts with the words '’Fuck Marc Bijl". And in "For The Love Of Gum” Damien Hirst his skull got a gum makeover. Many a brow will also be raised by Bonno's Photoshop skills.
